Domus Novus
The former Provincial Capital of the Province of Idiomaris in the Impero Tharrisian, Domus Novus was once the capital of the nation of Ager Terrena Idiomaris, the dream of Qaren Norixious. Even after Qaren and his dream left, the spiritual roots of both Domus Novus and the province of Idiomaris remained. Many a temple and church filled the streets of Domus Novus, to The Mantle, and other more obscure religions.
Now though, it is little more than a ruin. Destroyed when the High Elven city of Embrel fell during Jayllin's Terror, Domus Novus was destroyed utterly. Those that survived the impact, fled.
The region around Domus Novus and idiomaris more generally has seen intense relief efforts, but to little avail. The region is ravaged with damage that will take millenia to heal, and magical anomalies resulting from the impact of the intensely enchanted city riddle the region. The Tharrisian government's general order is to not enter the zone of former Domus Novus; though some more enterprising adventurers do anyway.
Demographics
The city had an absurd number of priests and religious practitioners per capita, but those who didn't work or serve a church often wound up in one of its many factories or working the rail lines. Racially the city was rather diverse, and was known for its large amount of Dragonborn, the largest population outside of Dracon.
Government
Domus Novus was the seat of, and responsibility of, the Idiomaris Provincial Governor.
Defences
Due to the events of the Unsung War and the One Day War, Domus Novus had become a hotbed of Legion activity in the last decades, with several legions being station in and around the city. Most were destroyed when Embrel fell.
